A new CNN/ORC poll finds President Obama’s approval ratings have reached their highest mark in almost two years.
Key findings: “48% of Americans approve of how Obama is running the country, compared to 47% who disapprove. That’s the highest mark since May 2013, the last time a plurality of Americans backed the president in the poll. A slight majority, 52%, believes the economy is either ‘very good’ or ‘somewhat good.'”
